With all the distressed damsels out there, it seemed only fair to focus on the women in Geekdom that are much more concerned with saving themselves, that with scoring Prince Charming. This week- Cersei Lannister. Creator: George R.R. Martin, or as we call him in our house “The dude that just needs to finish the…
My first article, here at Geek Insider was a wishlist addressed directly to Gran Turismo, asking for the gaming series that has been in my life since I was about eight years old to be given a breath of fresh air. Because as I said in that piece, I do love Gran Turismo very much….
Is it just or me or there is a lot of banning/blocking going around Saudi Arabia? Well, whatever the reasons, Saudi Arabia’s Communication and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has decided to show the door to one of the most popular messaging service around the world, WhatsApp. According to CITC, WhatsApp has failed to comply with…
It could have been the second game to be Refused Classification, it could have been remembered as the one we weren’t allowed to have. Now, they’ll be remembered for whatever meme the words “Stimulants Out, Supplements In” creates. Awesome. State of Decay has been given R18+ classification in Australia, just by changing the name of…
It’s Christmas time for all PC gamers out there because Steam Summer Sale is now live and will be running for the next 10 days at least. There are tons and tons of PC games on sale with huge discounts. Over the next 10 days, most of the games, nearly 2000 to be exact, will…
Remember when we had Zombie Friday on Geek Insider? Wouldn’t it be cool if you could pretend prep for the end of the world EVERY day? But, on your phone because tin cans take up space? There’s an app for that. Quite a few apps, but the one I chose came in the form of…

It’s a new era for console gamers. We’ve just experienced an E3 chock full of games set for the new generation of consoles. The PlayStation 4 is on its way to stores most likely around this holiday season. And Insomniac Games announces a new Ratchet & Clank for the PS3? That might sound weird to…
At this point I don’t think it’s possible for Marvel hype to get any bigger. With every new movie announcement or rumor, the superhero train gains more steam.

Unless you are watching “Dr. Who,” the chances of your favorite sci-fi/fantasy TV show getting cancelled prematurely are pretty good. I still haven’t gotten over “Firefly” and its short run. Even “Fringe,” which did have a lengthy run, seemed to get the short end of the stick a lot. It’s just the nature of a…
The OUYA is out now, and many people are left going “What the hell is an OUYA?” If you’re asking yourself that question, then I refer you to my earlier OUYA review, because I’m lazy and don’t want to repeat myself. The overall impression I left with my review, was that in order to get…
I’ve said time and time again that Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favorite modern games of all time. It follows everything Super Mario 64 set the bar for (in terms of what we expect from platformers) back in the 90s and expands it even more with the use of motion control! Galaxy was…
